SugarCRM for Partner Relationship Management (PRM)
- 1. SUGAR CRM FOR PARTNER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (PRM) January 2, 2012 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM EST by Josh Bailey e2b teknologies | 521 fifth avenue | chardon, oh 44024 | 440.352.4700 | www.e2btek.com
- 2. Partner Relationship Management (PRM) Partner relationship management (PRM) is a system of methodologies, strategies, software, and web-based capabilities that help a vendor to manage partner relationships. The general purpose of PRM is to enable vendors to better manage their partners through the introduction of reliable systems, processes and procedures for interacting with them. Web-based PRM systems typically include a Content Management System, a partner and customer contact database, and the notion of a partner portal which allows partners to login and interact with a vendor's sales opportunity database and obtain product, pricing, and training information. e2b teknologies | 521 fifth avenue | chardon, oh 44024 | 440.352.4700 | www.e2btek.com

Notes de l'éditeur
- Define what PRM is and emphasize why it is so important
- Discuss who might use PRM. This ranges from manufacturers and distributors to software publishers and any other business that sells through a channel or through brokers or representatives. Why is PRM important? Because companies who derive a significant revenue stream from channel sales need to manage the channel partners, mutual accounts, and joint sales efforts.
- Don’t spend much time on this slide – I just wanted to highlight the fact that there are very few legitimate options available for PRM in the midmarket and highlight the fact that we use SugarCRM ourselves internally for PRM.
- Discuss use of Account Type to segment accounts in Sugar CRM – this is pretty basic stuff.
- Discuss the fact that this approach allows channel sales companies to track everything the same with a simple association of the prospect or customer records to the partner records.
- Highlight the fact that we track product lines carried by our partners (including competitive product lines) which is nice for recruitment and targeted marketing for channel development.
- All contacts and communication are stored in SugarCRM for the partner account and all activities that occur for their associated customers and prospects.
- Show how easy it is for us to link customers and prospects to partner accounts. Discuss the fact that they can use SugarCRM for virtually any PRM requirement or need.
- Show how this opportunity has been created for the customer or prospect but the contacts on the opportunity include both the prospect and the associated sales rep at the partner account.
- Discuss the fact that SugarCRM is a native cloud-based application making it a snap to deploy forms, information, and anything a company might need to share with their channel partners online in a secured environment.
- The screen shots here show how we’ve identified accounts that represent Brooks Instruments. These are distributors of Brooks nationwide who we are targeting as partners to resell our e2b calibration services.
